Verdict
Milton Harris has been in outstanding form in recent weeks and MR YEATS should go close for the yard here. He looked likely to win with something to spare last time but in the end was made to battle hard to notch a first career success. He again faces similar trip, ground and a right-handed track and gets the nod off a 3lb higher mark. King Cnut is best watched on this hurdling return but Billy Ray looks dangerous back from a break. He stays the trip well, Tom Midgley claims a very helpful 7lb and confidence would be increased should market support arrive for him. Bartholomew shaped well last time and also merits respect along with Alberic and Seaborough.
